Your Opportunity
The Data, Identity, and API engineering group at New Relic builds the foundation for all of our products: data ingest, storage, and query. As an engineer working on the Query Gateway, you’ll be contributing directly to the industry leading proprietary telemetry technology at the core of our business.
We own our software from top to bottom and are directly responsible for its quality, reliability, and resilience. Each member of the team shares our pager rotation and will occasionally be on-call to respond to system failures; so we prioritize work that keeps the lights on and the pager quiet, in addition to the work that powers all of our new products and streams of data.
If the idea of working on systems that process millions of messages per second and handle exabytes of data excites you, then you may be an excellent fit!
